The day is for hard work and toil, for when night comes and the guardians sleep we release our darker nature on the world and allow the night to cloak our dark desires that in the morning we might be good once more.

ahh poor purple... (i call then Jezebel for personal amusement.) The world is only greys and blacks to you where people smile and act civilized wearing masks of false sincerity when they believe the important people can see them. Then release their more true nature to you as you dance to blood beats and pray on their baser instinct.

Then again you could say her touring around during the day was to drag in new customers for the night... hmm... still looks like she is just moving on auto pilot for all of it just another day, another step another moment as she tries to move forward. I truly wonder if she is a fallen like Blue... or a turned like orange... or if she signed a deal.. like Slick... a very sad character when you really look at her in any light really.

I am so confused as to the point of this comic? Can someone explain what it's getting at? And why Seymour goes from normal to lovestruck arbitrarily? And why he would take his lovestrickenness to a strip bar? Even lovestruck Seymour was "righteous"... And is Squig... furry? Is that weresquig? I'm so confused as to what is happening and what point is being made... Am I just REALLY dense and forgetting some things?

It's the same thing it's been getting at all along since the whole feminism/patriarchy topic began in 2011 or whenever it was.

The point is that NEITHER side is superior/correct/etc.

I wasn't expecting this arc to drag on for years though.

I always thought it'd come to an end much sooner, revealing what happened with Big D, his ex-wife, and Lil' E finally by bringing those flashback strips to their conclusion, and then the jade dragon would just appear and be all neutral as he tends to be, pointing out that both sides are equal and need one another.

I have to admit, though, I have problems understanding how Seymour is there. Well, if this is somehow only allegoric to his sinful escapades with Jesus slash fanfiction, does it mean he's not "really" there? And does this Otherwise, this is new side of him to me.

Equal and need one another? What? The problem is that it's NOT needed, yet most people are oblivious to the problem at hand, and either believe it's perfectly normal, or do realize they have a "dark side" they disapprove of but don't know what to do about it.
Possibly the second is why Tat drew himself in that strip club, and draws all these comics on what values we shouldn't walk hand-in-hands with.

Oh by the way.
This is why Seymour is there. Because he's completely infatuated with her, even at this point.

The point is that all these nice, law abiding, civil people take part in the life they call seedy and immoral when no one is looking.

Quite so. Sapphire sees through their hypocrisy & bullshit - or maybe she doesn't, I can't quite tell if she recognizes these guys whilst within the club - but she's too jaded to care._________________

... Umm, I'll be totally honest here and say that I don't think that Seymour is really infatuated with her at all. Like, he might think she's lovely and whatever but uh... to say that he is completely infatuated with her is a bit of a stretch. I mean, in that strip you posted anyways. He might be a little infatuated with her in this strip. I don't really feel like he is at all, but he's definitely fascinated by her at least so whatever.

What does it mean - or does it mean anything - that Crim isn't there?

It means that Crim is the most genuinely good dude with a heart of pure gold in the entire comic. To have him appear here at all would kind of be quite contradictory to his character. Unless he were to take on the role of DJ at the club, because there is a DJ at the Hellhole and we know for a fact that Crim enjoys DJing. But otherwise there wouldn't really be any reason for him to be there. He's never really once expressed any signs of sexual arousal or sexual attraction, he does not know Sapphire in any way shape or form, is already in a relationship of a romantic persuasion with Fuchsia and is literally the most faithful and loyal character in the comic aside from Pooch, he's completely honest, respects everyone, not hypocritical in the least, ect... not really any reason for him to be there, is there?_________________
